Chapter 23: Receive the goods overnight



When the night is dark and windy, An An sneaks home for the day.

Because of the emperor's death, the streets were dark and quiet.

Fortunately, the props Xiwen gave me have not been used up yet.

Because of her calligraphy and paintings, mechanic An Geng gave her a lot of small gadgets like flash bombs.

Lu Anan put on special glasses so that she could see the road clearly even at night.

She rushed all the way to the Lu Mansion at lightning speed, stepping on feathers.

At this time, the Lu Mansion was in chaos. Prime Minister Lu tried every possible means, but the adults he had been on good terms with before refused to even enter the door.

This is a serious crime of treason, and now everyone in the Lu Mansion is avoiding them.

Lu Anan threw out his treasure hunting gadget.

Prime Minister Lu and Madam Lu were waiting for news in the front hall, and Lu Anan successfully found his private vault.

Hidden in the study.

Lu Anan walked to the bookshelf and took down one of the pencil cases, and the wall moved in response.

She turned and walked in.

Sure enough, Prime Minister Lu has collected a lot of good things over the years.

Lu Anan picked up the three boxes of gold and silver beside him.

The people who gave the gifts all catered to the recipient’s tastes, and there were quite a few of the four treasures of the study among them.

There are about twenty or thirty precious treasures.

The rest are some gold, silver, jade and stone ornaments, as well as some more valuable pendants.

Lu Anan raised her eyebrows. Many places were empty. She guessed that they were stuffed for her as a dowry.

After all, the betrothal gift Chu Jinshen gave her was too conspicuous.

If the Lu family only took those mahogany furniture to make up the numbers, it would be more than just a disgrace.

Lu Anan looked around and felt that the table in front of her was too annoying. She took a step forward and felt around for a while.

Sure enough, I found some "good stuff" under the table.

There was a pull-out mechanism underneath, and Lu Anan took out the things inside.

It's a few letters.

"Zhen...King of the South?"

Lu Anan frowned. She had also heard of the King of Zhennan. The title was passed down from her ancestors, and the Heng Kingdom had only been established for a hundred years.

But ever since the previous Prince of Zhennan committed a serious crime, was imprisoned, and disappeared quietly.

Everyone in the capital was very secretive about him.

Why did Prime Minister Lu exchange letters with him?

Lu Anan suppressed her doubts and packed up all her things. Now she was going to do other things.

When leaving Lu Mansion, Lu Anan looked back.

The stupid things Lu Qingqing did were enough to bring about the Lu family's own destruction.

Besides, the new emperor has been established, and Prime Minister Lu is afraid that he will not be able to escape.

Lu Anan was very fast. The capital city was well planned, and most of the shops were concentrated in the west of the city.

This place seems much more lively than Chang'an Avenue.

At least some of the shops still had lights on.

Lu Anan knocked on the door of a grain shop.

Hengguo has wheat seeds, which are harvested twice a year and are the basic staple food.

The owner of the grain shop was counting the quantities. When he heard a knock on the door, he walked to the door cautiously.

"Who is it?"

Lu Anan didn't say anything, but stuffed a tael of silver under the crack of the door.

The shopkeeper immediately opened the door and saw a young man in front of him. He stuck his head out to look around and quickly let Lu Anan in.

The lights in the house were dim and I couldn't see clearly.

"This... young master?"

Lu Anan lowered her voice: "How much stock do you have?"

The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and said, "There are quite a few goods."

"Give it all to me."

Lu Anan took out the small box in her hand. After she opened it, the shopkeeper almost gasped.

His tone was much more flattering than before.

"Oh! Young Master, why are you so polite?"

"Give me all the goods in the back. Someone will take them away. You just need to stay here now. You have never seen me and I have never sold goods. Do you understand?"

The shopkeeper's eyes rolled, he grabbed the box with both hands and nodded.

"Don't worry! No one has come tonight."

Lu Anan nodded. Behind the shop was the warehouse where all the grain was stored.

Lu Anan turned around and walked back. The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and said, "Wow, so much gold and silver."

But what he didn't notice was that Lu Anan moved his fingertips slightly, and a puff of smoke dissipated in the air.

The shopkeeper felt that he couldn't even open his eyelids, and the next second, he fell asleep on the ground.

Lu Anan released the magic potion given by Xiwen. Anyone who smells it will fall into a deep sleep immediately and will forget who they met before falling asleep.

However, this kind of potion is not easy to make, and Lu Anan only got a small bottle.

She walked to the warehouse and opened the door. The mountain of white rice inside made her raise an eyebrow.

There is also a lot of corn and soybeans.

After all, most people eat more corn and less white rice.

Taking these things away makes me feel safer.

Lu Anan raised her hand and put the bag into the space.

Only then did she realize that the space was much larger than before.

In other words, the space has become... more comfortable.

The previous space was only used by Lu Anan to store things.

For convenience, she prepared a lot of storage before traveling through time and sorted everything into categories.

After traveling through time, the warehouses collected from various families were placed together according to different types.

It looks dazzling and gives people a sense of security.

After this batch of grain arrived, Lu Anan felt even more relieved as he had food in his hands.

After she left the grain shop, she went to the cloth shop, silk shop, oil shop, wine shop, teahouse, etc.

Two hundred pieces of cloth were bought, mostly brocade, silk, and satin, but also quite a bit of linen and coarse cloth.

I bought fifty barrels of perilla oil and sesame oil together.

I bought one hundred barrels of various kinds of wine and fifty pieces of tea cakes.

After this trip, Lu Anan felt extremely tired.

She took a deep breath. She had taken everything she needed to take away, and now it was time to go back.

After Anwen returned to the room, Lu Anan was sweating a lot. She took out some clean clothes and turned to enter the space.

Ever since the space and the live broadcast system were linked, Lu Anan found that he could also enter the space.

The big villa built by Mechanic An is very convenient for her.

While filling her bathtub, she searched the space for bubble bath supplies as if she were shopping.

The only regret is that I forgot to bring my tablet with me.

Who knew there would be electricity in ancient times? It would be great to download more movies to watch at this time.

Lu Anan took a bath happily.

She wrapped herself in a bath towel and went to the kitchen, found some turkey noodles, and paired them with the fried chicken she had bought earlier. Lu Anan slurped the noodles while sighing.

This is the joy of life.

After having a midnight snack and taking a bath, Lu Anan stretched out after coming out of the space.

There were still five or six hours before dawn, so she lay down in bed.

Little did they know that an urgent military report had already arrived at the city gate.

The soldier ran until eight horses died. He held on to his last breath, holding the letter in his hand.

"Emergency military report from Yuezhou. I want to see the emperor in the palace!"

The people at the city gate looked at each other, wondering what to do.

However, the urgent military report had to be reported, so the city gates had to be opened and he was allowed to gallop away.

He ran while shouting urgent military reports.

Chu Jinshen sat upright on a chair in the palace. He coughed lightly, and Li Si appeared beside him silently.

"Master, urgent news from Yuezhou. I'm afraid something might happen."
